9. idaSetup - IPDS Programming

NOTE:

This chapter only applies to the converter when mounted with an IPC module.

idaSetup is a program developed with the purpose of setting up the wide range of IPC protocol converters via a PC share port or from a host.

For details on how to configure the IPDS parameters for theX rox FS 5250 IPC using the program idaSetup, see the separate documentation this, “IPDS, Programmer’s Guide”, doc. no. D60253. The manual is available as an electronic document.
